Stupid People

As many comedians and country music artist have lamented before, the world is full of stupid people. I think that I could probably start an entire blog full of random quotes heard straight from the mouth of the stupid population. But since that blog has not been started yet, I thought I would share with you a recent experience that deserves to be told. This experience took place at the Portland Timbers game a couple weeks back.

While eavesdropping into the conversation going on behind me, I overheard a guy (approximately my age) telling his buddy the different languages he studied while in school. He said, "I studied Spanish, a little french, a semester of German and even a semester of latin." His friend commented back to him that Latin wasn't a very useful language.

Expecting the guy to respond to his friend by telling him that Latin could be a useful language when studying for the SAT or in general usage since so many of our words derive from the latin language, I was dumbfounded when he responded in total seriousness this:

"Ya...Latin isn't very useful....unless you are going to visit Latin America."

The world is full of stupid people.
